Customer Review: Technology comes cheap…
At ?180 I continue to be amazed by price and quality of technology. “Tape?”, you may ask but as the media is cheap and having found it easy to do basic editting on my PC, I feel justified by the decision not to spend more money on a DVD-model. I selected the MD235 over the MD160 as it was cheaper and I didn’t need a still photo feature. Also, the camera records in widescreen as standard & has an optional mic input which may come in handy in the future. Straight out of the box, I found the camera was easy to use. The camera is light and compact. The zoom is quick and focussing reasonably rapid though low light performance isn’t that good with the “LCD light” practically useless. The playback and image quality is lovely and colours are vibrant and lively. On the LCD, the joystick menu system works better for me than Sony’s touchscreen technology as it’s a easier to navigate the menus. All in all, very pleased and would recommend highly. I also bought DVK-203 Accessory Kit (Extended Life Battery, Carry Case & Tape) which helped get things going too. The camera doesn’t come with a firewire cable so I ordered one too…

Customer Review: Doesn’t do what it says on the tin
Amazon say it has USB connection. (Still, now, 3 months after I bought mine) It does not, the 53 and 54 do. it is not just the cable that is lacking as I thought at first - there is no connector socket for USB on the camera. This was the only reason I bought this model!

Customer Review: Very good, but the HD?
I got this camera the other day and sent it back. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really good, but I was after a Full-HD camcorder (1920×1080), not 1440×1080. If you’re not bothered about the resolution, then this camera is for you. Great image and sound quality with lots of functions.
Customer Review: I’ve never seen anything like it!!
If you can afford this camera then please buy it. I just received this as a very generous birthday present and I must say im in awe! the quality when hooked up to a HD tv is absolutely incredible. I cant speak about whether it is the best, or whether others work better on 1080p or whatever. All i can say is that whether its indoors or outdoors, rain or shine, day or night (it has night vision) this camera produces ridiculously good results. It is easy to hook up to your telly or pc through a stand that comes with it. One-touch dvd burning (although it says to put the dvds into blu ray players, not into dvd players. I guess when blu ray becomes more widespread you’ll be able to burn straight onto blu ray discs)…this is one thing i havent tried yet since i dont have dvd-rw discs at home at the moment. I want to burn it on to a dvd and put it on my ps3 to see the quality. 40gb harddrive is a treat, batter life is good as is the camera. But for me its the size that makes it so incredible. Its a compact, light machine that delivers incredible results. Buy in confidence, since i do not bother writing reviews unless i am really impressed or disgusted by a product.when it comes to digital cameras i prefer canon, but with this you cannot go wrong. amazing!

Customer Review: a must have!
i was looking to buy a new sony camcorder and saw this little thing with an HD embossed on its tiny little body. it’s expensive but wow! the pictures were stunning! shots perfectly on a 6.1 megapixel format. High definition, crystal clear videos with a 5.1 surround sound! that is truly amazing! but please, think twice before buying this one if you don’t have an HD ready plasma or LCD as it might disappoint you during playback on a tele which is not HD ready because this is what your paying for, the High Definition. hope you will enjoy yours like i do.

Lowepro Apex 5AW Digital Camera Pouch - Black
The Apex Collection are the first of Lowepro?s smaller pouches to be fitted with an All Weather Cover which can be pulled over the bag if you get caught out in bad weather.
List Price: ?16.00
Amazon Price: ?10.83
Customer Review: Excellent
I’ve used Lowepro pouches and cases for years, and this is definitely the best pouch series yet. It’s very small, but is well padded and you can use a neck strap or belt attachment. I prefer the belt bit myself, as that fits nicely on to a rucksack waistbelt, or even your trouser belt. It’s a rugged little thing and does the job perfectly. I use it with an Ixus 75, which fits snugly, including a spare battery and card.
Customer Review: The Business!
I had a Lowepro case for my old Camera and it was good - but this one is even better! I sell these often with Cameras and it makes people laugh when I demonstrate the waterproof cover for it that folds out from a flap on the bottom. It is sturdy, rugged and my ixus 70 sits snugly in it with room for cards and additional batteries. If black isn’t your colour it is also available in blue.

How to Photograph Absolutely Everything: Successful Pictures from Your Digital Camera

Customer Review: Great starter manual
This is exactly what I was looking for, a book which taught me the basics then applied them to different situations. I feel a lot more confident playing around with the settings on my camera and my photography has improved as a result. I like the way he has taken a photograph for each subject and then explained the settings on the right hand side. After reading the first two chapters I was able to cover up the settings, look at the photograph and predict what he had used. In no time at all I was grasping the logic and gaining confidence. A lovely book for beginners. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I also like the fact that he has explained commonly made errors in composition and lighting and illustrated the flawed results on the same page. I am starting to think about composition in a new way too. My photography skills were in a rut, this book has changed that.
Customer Review: Great for beginners and enthusiastic amateurs!
This is great if you’re keen but need a bit of practical guidance and some inspiration. This books shows you some inspirational shots as guidance and shows you the set up (eg where to stand, where to place your subject etc…) and tells you the ISO, aperture, shutter speed etc… for many of the pictures. It is jargon-free, easy to read and split into useful chapters, including portriats, moving objects, taking pictures of children, close ups, night shots, etc… People criticising this book have missed the point; it is MEANT to be simple, it isn’t aimed at people who are already pretty proficient at photographs, it is aimed at people like me who are moving on from a compact and need a bit of guidance to get the best from the camera. If that’s you then this is the book for you.

Canon IXUS 70 Digital Camera - Silver (7.1MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5″ LCD
List Price: ?249.00
Amazon Price: ?154.94
Customer Review: not all good news
the card and battery cover is worthy of a 10p toy very poor - worse still mine was deliverd with a fault - strong horz lines across the pictures and total over exposure in daylight. Let see how Canon respond this, one is scrap.
Customer Review: (Almost) Faultless
Bought this camera a year ago. The only niggle that I have is the lack of a battery meter. It is the best ‘point and shoot’ digital camera that I have used/owned. It is small and easy to use.

Customer Review: Don’t bother
So small that even little fingers end up in front of the lens. Viewfinder poor. Picture quality reflects the price - you get what you pay for so in this case: not much. Eats batteries.
